Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
There is a degraded understanding of why democracy is important, how elections work, and the gravity of those decisions. This is increasing division in society and also allowing false and harmful narratives to flourish at a time when unity, collaboration, and tolerance is required. Notable examples exist of MPs disregarding their constituents in favour of international travel to serve their own ends. Over all we are being done an inter-generational disservice which will continue to cause issues.
